While we wait to see what comes of the new X.Org Server Git branch plans and a possible X.Org Server 26.1 release, several X.Org libraries saw new point releases this weekend. These seldom-updated libraries saw new releases to ship various build fixes and other minor improvements.

Alan Coopersmith of Oracle’s Solaris team and long-time X.Org release wrangler spent a lot of time this weekend shipping new upstream X.Org library updates

    So don’t use Sway, plenty of DEs are more polished.

    If you are an i3 user the only solution is sway.

    which is relatively new, has unresolved bugs that i3, which is older, does not have.

    sway is 10 years old and they haven’t gotten backwards compat with i3 right, let alone other wayland specific issues like not having fifo v1.

      Ok fair, but I still think that “a few bugs that make it not act like i3” is quite different from “doesn’t have backwards compat with i3 right”.

      None of those bugs affect me, so I can see why my perspective of Sway being perfectly usable may differ from other users whose workflow is broken.

      Looking forward to Sway having fifo, seems to work well in KDE and Gnome

        There is way more, it also fails with my i3config.
